Two different approaches.
For the first I used my equal luminosity mask plug-in.

For the second I made a selection of the horses using Threshold on a new layer, so that I could invert the selection and clear the background. Then I used this layer as a contrast mask followed by Curves to make the final adjustment.

By way of an experiment I have increased the saturation of the outer petals and decreased it for the centre.

You guys are real quick with your offerings

Anyway here is mine from Issa's original - straightened up/brightened up the back street with 'wine bottle bowling', some window flowers and a couple of kookaburras visiting from Oz.

Here an innovative structure in Seville. It is named "Las Setas" because of its shape. (The mushrooms)

Thanks my friends.
Lyle, your creations are always flashy and interesting.
Dinasset, I like your results a lot. You know to treat each image with a different nice aspect. The rose came awesome.

In this photo I have darkened the interior and tried to accentuate the warm glow of the exterior colours.

A quick polish for the brass surrounds of the clocks and the wood. Increased the visibility of the photograph in the window.

I have attempted to make the frieze more visible and separate the amphorae from the background.
